Are you one of the 34% of Americans that would like to live in Orlando? I was... I made the move over 23 years ago to Orlando from the Seattle Area (ranked #3) and I've never looked back. Is it the palm trees, mild climate or Mickey Mouse that appeal to Americans? Forbes says that it's a combination of all three.

Orlando was also ranked No. 9 in Forbes.com's Best Cities For Singles. Orlando's job growth and affordability were just two of the factors in their decision, the nightlife, culture and coolness also pushed Orlando into the top 10.

I have to agree that Orlando is a great place for singles since I met my husband at Chillers in Downtown Orlando almost 18 years ago, Orlando worked it's Magic on me...

Hi Debbie. I always like the way your posts look.

Debbie, I do miss Orlando. It reminds me of Atlanta when I lived there when Atlanta was still 'livable' (not so hard to get around). I'm not surprised that it's in the top 10 and top 4!

Maybe you should write Mr. Forbes and tell them your popularity experience. That might move #4 past #3 for the next publication. :-)
